Armageddon

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Romans 15:4 NIV

I watched Armageddon tonight. We watched Independence Day last night. And all week we've been reading articles about how the world was ending today or it was the beginning of the end. If we do not know God's peace, this information could make us worry. There's plenty of voices loudly decrying the end of the world, the end of humanity, the end of freedom. We can listen to those but a better idea is to listen to the still, small voice that comes from the one who created the world. I think he would know when it will end.

This verse reminds us that God's words were written for our education and to give us hope for our future. Only God knows when he will return for his people. Only God knows his plans for the transformation of humanity. So why would we listen to fallible humans who only use a tenth of their brain power? Let's listen to the creator, who gives us hope and a future.
